When a Sun Java System Identity Manager (Identity Manager) deployment solution is completed, and all the consultants on the project leave, the customer Identity Manager engineer, or systems administrator, is typically responsible for managing and supporting the already deployed Identity Manager solution. This course provides students with the technical knowledge and skills necessary to successfully perform administration and maintenance tasks needed to manage and support an existing Identity Manager solution for a given customer environment. This course includes concepts and tasks such as managing users, configuring resources, debugging common problems, and making simple business process changes to the existing Identity Manager forms and rules to accomodate change requests. Students are introduced to Identity Manager concepts and administrative and maintenance tasks through a series of lectures and labs designed around the core responsibilities that a systems administrator would perform on an identity management solution using Identity Manager.
